Conflict of interest editing[edit]

Hello, Benquist. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Brian J. Enquist, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Melcous (talk) 02:32, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. You were informed about our guidelines surrounding editing with a conflict of interest three years ago but seem to have taken no notice. Please suggest any changes you would like to make to articles on the talk page as advised above. Thank you SmartSE (talk) 15:33, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
